WELCOME
The Evolutionary Anthropology
Society (EAS) is a section of the American Anthropological
Association. We bring together all those interested in applying modern
evolutionary theory to the analysis of human biology, behavior, and
culture. This website describes our group’s activities. We
welcome students, faculty, and anyone with similar interests to join
the EAS and help us build a thriving community of researchers.
OUR ACTIVITIES
Our diverse membership includes human behavioral
ecologists, primatologists, archaeologists, cultural anthropologists,
psychologists, biologists, and paleoanthropologists, to name a few. At
the annual meetings of the American Anthropological Association (AAA),
we provide venues for students, young investigators, and senior
researchers to get to know each other and to present current research
on a variety of topics within evolutionary anthropology.
Our emphasis is on scientific analyses including a
balance of theory and data. Evolutionary anthropology is a broad
and exciting field, and we encourage research and presentations on a
wide range of topics. A summary of EAS-sponsored presentations at
past AAA meetings can be found here, and have included foraging
and food-sharing in comparative and diachronic perspective, gender
roles, evolutionary applied anthropology, the evolution of cooperation
and inequality, and more. Given the breadth of our membership and
the inclusive definition of evolutionary anthropology to which EAS
subscribes, the list of topics we address is certain to
expand.
